screenprint design for Christopher Nolan&#8217;s <em>The Dark Knight<\/em>, depicting Joker (Heath Ledger) standing in front of the burning pile of money during a memorable scene from the film. A stack of money and his signature calling cards fill each of the Joker&#8217;s hands while the glow of the fire highlights the sickly orange and green of his own hair. Accomplished with gouache and pastel on 32&#8243; x 40&#8243; artist&#8217;s board.
